I have 2 crazy toddlers... very active kids and of course they fall and bruise a lot! but not anymore since I keep this in my purse. Even on those really big falls arnica works great, no blue or black marks at all. I love this product, best thing ever. I also use the one in tablets as additional protection. (Posted on 2/24/11)

i am the type that bruise easily and this product works wonder for me!! not only does this product make the pain go away it also stops bruises from forming into nasty black and blue marks. i simply love this product and i dont leave home without it. the arnica bump stick is quite handy too.

although I too was surprised by some of the ingredients in this product considering it's a homeopathic remedy, this is by far the best working arnica ointment I have found to date. I would love to see this same product without the parabens. (Posted on 5/18/10)

Disappointed in the product. On the website it neglects to tell you all the ingredients this product is made from: Arnica fluid extract, beeswax, petrolatum, METHYLPARABEN AND PROPYLPARABEN. I figued for a homeopathic remedy that there wouldn't be such controversial ingredients.

1-800 Homeopathy Response<
Because of their safety, parabens have been used in food products for over 50 years. 1-800 Homeopathy and it's parent company, Hyland’s, is of the opinion that methyl and propyl paraben are appropriate to use as preservatives in a product that is at risk of microbiological contamination from contact inoculation of the tube. Hyland’s is aware of the issues around parabens, but does not feel that the research at this time warrants discontinuing their use. We continue to monitor new research developments.

Hyland’s respects customers’ decisions to select products that meet their requirements. For those customers who are not comfortable using the paraben preservatives, Hyland's offers these alternative Arnica products:
